³⁶ Hashem shall bring thee, and thy melech which thou shalt set over thee, unto a Goy which neither thou nor Avoteicha have known; and there shalt thou serve elohim acherim, etz va’even (wood and stone). [2Kgs 25:7]

³⁷ And thou shalt become an object of horror, a mashal, and a byword, among kol haGoyim whither Hashem shall lead thee.

³⁸ Thou shalt carry much zera out into the sadeh, and shalt gather but little in; for the arbeh shall devour it.
